greater responsibilities, but the more
that is required of him the stronger will
be his power of achievement. Men always
rise to the occasion. If any work is to
be accomplished, somebody is sure to
come forward and take it in hand. No
matter how arduous the undertaking, if
it is within the scope of human prowcsS !
it's completion will not be suffered to fail |

Taking all in all, the lot of boy
thlown entirely upon his own resources
in this city is little less than hopeless.
Even if permitted to live at home, the
boy who is forced to go upon the streets
or into the factories before he has
strength or education to do good work is
probably doomed to remain an unskilc,l
workman all his life. Every year manu-
featuring is carried on upon larger and
larger scale, and the division of labor is
becoming greater and greater. AS re-
suit of this not only does the gulf between
capitalist and labor widen, but there
widens with it gulf between skilled
labor and unSkillcd. The boy who goes
into the factory does not learn the bust
ness, cannot lay up capital. The time
was when the boy who went in at the
bottom could come out at the top. Is
this possible i'll New York City today?
